we not only stand with israel, we will fight with israel. there's absolutely no way, as gotd is our maker, that we are going to stand by and see israel destroyed. make no mistake about it. it's as clear as bell. in the holy scriptures brought down by the mighty hand of god almighty, stand with my people, the people of israel. now, ladies and gentlemen, i was called upon as a member of the nato parliamentary assembly to go to iran, write the paper on iran. i met the people of iran. and i want the people of iran to listen. go to your leadership, they are the ones that control hamas, hezbollah, and then i call upon our friends in saudi arabia. the answer to this is in your hands. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. mccaul: thank you. i yield one minute to the gentleman from texas, a member of the foreign affairs committee, mr. jackson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. jackson: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. speaker, t

at the height of israel's attacks, there is a hint of war israel explodes. israel is surprised.ervers notice that something had changed in hezbollah's battle with israel. but israel did not understand. one of the soldiers said later: we didn't know what was happening and what was going to happen to us. we only knew that we were killing. they thought that the hezbollah forces were probably stationed in tents and with a kalashnikov, but when the soldiers attacked , they were faced with hydraulic steel shutters and a network of complex tunnels. an israeli soldier later confesses. i am ashamed to admit that we used to drink water from hezbollah's headquarters and we went to local shops to get food. of course , the israeli soldiers looted the shops. the advice of people like benjamin ben elizar to attack was wrong from the start. america pursues a quick ceasefire. because israel needs reconstruction. in the middle of the talks, israel attacks again, but this attack also fails, and israel has to comply with the un resolution. in the last 72 hours of the war , israel drops about one mi

israel is not a member of the court. the regime has failed to cooperate with the investigation, rejecting the course jurisdiction. now the israeli war on god continues to kill civilians at alarming rate including children and women, the tie continues to turn against israel from the ongoing protest against israel and the support of palestine to officials from around the world, especially in europe. a war of genocide: our people in the gaza strip are facing a war of genocide and massackers committed by the israeli occupation forces in full view of the entire world. i say frankly to the american statesman who are now managing the genocide in palestine. i am raising alarm about the possibly catastrophic consequence. of large scale ground operations in gaza and the potential for thousands more civilians today. wide people condemming israel and the inability to stop this war. we're calling for a sifiire, we are here to our solidarity with palestine and palestinian people. the streets have spoken, some ask will protest to pales

israel is being attacked ferociously. this was by far the biggest operation by resistance groups against the... israel in decades. these are the scenes of benkorean airport. maybe this statement paints a clear picture of what has happened. we decided to put an end to all the crimes of the occupation. their time for rampaging without being held accountable is over. we announced operation alaxsa flood and we fired in the first strike of 20 minutes more than 500 rockets. that was the announcement by the aziddin al qassam brigades. the military wing of the hamas resistance. group, armed clashes along the separation fence with israel near the southern town of hannus were reported to take place. fighters seen here breaking to the fence. the mood however was different here where the head of hamas's political bureat is seen celebrating the operation carried out not only by hamas fighters, but by all the resistance fighters in the gaza strip. such was the case at the jennian refugee camp israel has declared a state of war alert st

usa, israel, usa, israel, usa, how many kids today? no es una guerra, es un genocidio. thousands gathered in israelia's love city sydney in support of palestinians, protesters could be heard chanting shame shame israel while calling the israelian government complicit with genocide happening in gaza. in the spanish capital thousands marched in central madrid denouncing israel's continued bombardment of palestinians. hundreds of lebanese protesters. also took the streets of route calling for an end to the regime's bloodched. four palestine rallies have been held since israel started this mass killing of civilians in gaza, even though many countries have placed restrictions on such as. for the third saturday in a row, pro palestine demonstrators packing the streets of central london to condem the uk government's unequivocal support for israel. our government is chearing this on and supporting israel to carry on with the massacre in gaza, so we want to try and stop that. i'm so ashamed of our government that they are sanctioning what i thi

is total failure, now 75 years after the creation of israel, israel does not have the security that the zionist were dreaming, mean i have been to israel and i've seen how horrible is living. in this country, there is no peace, i've seen many interviews of european jews, many of them are albanian who live in israel, and they are all in panic, they are saying, we want to go, and we have to remind something, our viewers, not all israeli citizens are zice, a great majority, probably 80% of the population of israel, they move to israel from eastern europe. from countries like ukraine, like belarus, like poland, like albania, after the collapse of the soviet union, and many of these people were not even jews, but they claimed to be jews and israel welcomed everybody who was faking documents and these people they removed to israel as immigrants, so people who live nowadays in israel, majority of them, they are like immigrants who move to canada or... the united states, but what is happening when israel are under the reign of launch by hamas, many of these people they are thinking to go an

i stand with israel.ntense human suffering coming out of occupied palestine right now, but also at the british authorities themselves. the uk government for example is expressing some extreme pro israel comments right now throwing their full support behind the regime which is... currently engaged in bombing raids on gaza, which is targeting very heavily civilian populated areas. several senior uk government ministers have fully committed their support to israel. the prime minister tweeted on saturday that he was shocked by this morning's attacks by hamas terrorists. israel has an absolute right to defend itself, before adding a tweet showing israel's flag projected across number 10. the home secretary attacked. pro-palestine protesters, tweeting, there is no place on british streets for demonstrations that glorify terrorism. others, including the foreign secretary added their support to israel's right to defend itself, but describing palestinian fighters as terrorists. basically it was expected, but we di

his first comments that the hamas surprise attack on israel and israel's response. we will have a live report from the white house in just a moment. we will bring you the presidents remarks when they happen. first, the latest. at least 70 people are dead, hundreds more are wounded in israel after hamas forces launched an unprecedented attack by air, land, and see. president biden set to deliver remarks on the situation, which will bring to you live. prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, saying the country isn't a state of war. the israeli military saying an unknown number of soldiers and civilians have been taking hostage. meanwhile, gaza's health ministry reports 198 people are dead and more than 1600 injured after israeli airstrikes in the region in retaliation. this comes 50 years and one day after the start of the october war, also known as the yom kippur war, who killed thousands on each side after egypt and syria launched surprise attacks on israel. -- rat sounded on the ground just north of the gaza strip in israel. raw, flood is the latest? >> lindsey, we are

into israel. violent by c and they are still on the ground in israel engaging in firefights with israeli soldiers as we speak. >> hadas ÃÃall this so far we've covered these respected conflicts between israel and hamas in gaza. especially the last one and i was there. very familiar with israel's very sophisticated air defense system including of course the iron dome. which is prevented a lot of these rockets in missiles entering from israel and causing much damage. what happened to that system? is it not working effectively today? >> it's working effectively. from what we understand it still working effectively and several the explosions that we've heard in jerusalem were likely intersections. the thing is that people can still be injured by the shrapnel. because what happens is you know, rocket comes in from gaza. the iron dome launches its own rocket and they meet in the sky. and that obviously, the shrapnel coming from not will cause less damage than a direct rocket impact. you can still get da

, they are in israel, all the citizens of israel who are now outside of israel, they are trying everything... uh , in any way, in every way to return to the country in order to defend the country, that's what is very impressive, this is an interesting nuance, victoria, well, we agreed that you will be on our air and your story, you survived the occupation of buchi, you got out of buchi during the russian invasion, the beginning of a full-scale war, and now these days are also during hostilities, do you feel yourself in this situation at all? you know when i saw the footage of the first information from the east of israel and what was done there, hamas fighters with the people, and how this invasion took place, i had this feeling where i live, as if the script is repeating itself, the screenwriter also has such impressions. the same, because what happened from the belarusian border to the suburbs of kyiv, in buch , virpin, gostomel, ivanka borodyanka, is very similar to what happened in israel, i always admired how defense-capable israel is, i could, in our case in ukraine, yes, understand

israel— president. we start with the united states, israel is _ president.esident. we start with the united states, israel is notjust _ president. we start with the united states, israel is notjust a - president. we start with the united states, israel is notjust a foreign l states, israel is notjust a foreign policy issue, it is a domestic policy issue, it is a domestic policy issue. one president after another in the united states, from the time of the i948 another in the united states, from the time of the 1948 war of independence which established the state of israel, the us was the first country to recognise the jewish state. down through the decades, american leaders have stood by as well but at times they have also tried to be a friend by being, by exercising the kind of leverage that such close friends and allies should be able to exercise and as i mentioned, this is certainly good presidentjoe biden wants to do today. we had heard before his arrivalfrom today. we had heard before his arrival from antony blinken, his top diplomat, that the us and isr

and israel.goes and that warning you heard from president biden just minutes ago and that videotape that you played, that warning is to hezbollah to not get involved in the north of israel. if hezbollah decides to start firing thousands of rockets into it north of israel and israel has to fight on multiple fronts, that becomes a different situation. in terms of u.s. troops in the middle east they are in danger tonight. stir in the u.s. military will be watching not only in syria but iraq as well and bases across the gulf for any potential attempts by shiite militias to try to take advantage of this chaos right now. it is clear that i iran is behid the subject. they are very closely linked with hamas. iran clearly did not want the peace deal between the saudi arrays israel to go forward so iran is going to try to pressure the u.s. and other places using proxies that is what iran does they do not fight front on the use of proxy groups like hamas, hezbollah and groups inside syria. arthel: debate do

israel as licence to kill.ber is rising by the moment, of palestinians that have been killed already in one day, including children, some barely a few months old. entire families were killed in their sleep. will this bring security? will this advance peace? where is the international protection the palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect? aren't palestinians' lives worth saving? the palestinian civilians killed, the palestinian children killed in occupied palestine could have been spared. isn't that a moral and legal obligation and a contribution to peace? why nothing is done when those killed are palestinians? we need to think hard of what logic we want to see prevail here. if this is about vengeance, then many palestinians will feel they have much to avenge. if this is about peace, then the way to it is not through further entrenching oppression and occupation, but by ending it. you cannot say nothing justifies killing isra

working with israel.hink that the president of the united states said after his meeting with prime minister netanyahu that, whatever israel needs, we will make sure that they get it. we will fix the intelligence and talk about the intelligence and next moves. but i think that you'll see a close coordination, dialogue, conversation between the israeli government and our president of the united states. we are ready, willing, and able to stand by and make sure that we start to get those that have been taken, those lives are still in danger, there's still individuals who may have infiltrated israel. we will be working hand in hand with them, their military, their intelligence and ours, to make sure that this is resolved. now, i too am worried about further regional warfare. and it just seems to me, and i think we'll find out more -- i hope to have a classified briefing either tomorrow or monday. but as soon as we are getting close to have some peace in the middle east, have conversations, others are trying to

into israel.e is coming from all over the strip. israel will try to target some these launching positions for the try to target militants along the border trying to infiltrate into israel. but when it comes to the tunnels underneath gaza where they're storing the ammunition and the weapons and the rockets, and even the fighters that are staying in those tunnels how to make difficult decisions. hamas says they have moved these hostages these prisoners of war underneath the gaza strip. for six terrible and bloodied days ahead it seems. trey yingst, thank you. let's bring in he is a former diplomat with israel's ministry of foreign affairs former spokesman for the consulate general of israel in new york city. i guess the world is getting a view of what hamas methods are their brutality and inhumanity. but i was just speaking with trey there will be repercussions for whatever israel does in the gaza strip. is the country ready mentally ready for that kind of criticism that is sure to be coming down th

it incursions i other groups into israel? , ., israel?t the whole perception of— israel? it compares in the way that the whole perception of israel, - israel? it compares in the way that| the whole perception of israel, that gazza cannot really do those things failed. it is the same conception that was in 73 when israel was sure that... even if they had opened a war, they could finish it within 24—hour is. the fighters of gaza showed us today this morning, and throughout the whole day, that their capabilities are by far better than any israeli had foreseen. including the israeli intelligence. nobody had foreseen. crossing the barrier across gaza, then they are really capable. if tens of palestinians with their cars, fighters, are now taking over villages in the south, and taking hostages, no israeli had foreseen it. in this way, it is very comparable to the 73 war, when the conception of israel totally failed. 0n the other hand, let's remember that the 73 war was a war between very strong armies. the egyptian army, the syrian army, and th

for israel this time. was a surprise attack and israel was bloodied very badly as a result. >> i think there is no doubt that israel is intending to win this war. just as it did with the yom kippur war 50 years ago. it does not mean it's good to be easy or quick. of course we know there are many casualties and that is why the comparisons are being made not just because the near anniversary of where this took place but the element of surprise is an enormous factor. what happened when hamas invaded to go over the border from the gaza strip into israel as israel was taken completely off guard to see that number of terrorist pouring into israel through what was considered an impenetrable border has left israelis in shock not just citizens but politicians and military leaders and they were playing catch up. it's even thought that now there still terrorists within the country in the army is still clear and areas. let me say in the 5:00 a.m. hour in israel you can expect the number of dead will rise dramatically

israel is changing its paradigms. the paradigm in the last 15 years was hamas become an accountable government that ha palestinians, and they are interested in rebuilding gaza and the welfare of gaza, and israel helps them with the costing, with letting palestinians in israel, with enabling them to get the qatari money. and now hamas will never be any more a partner for anything, only for a war. so we don't need to think in the terms that we sought in the last 15 years. we are now in operation that has to destroy the military capabilities of hamas. when israel and the plo agreed on the peace forces, the idea was that there will not be a palestinian militarized state. it will be demilitarized. what we allowed, and this is our mistake, is to have a palestinian state with a deadly military force that is not coming to fight with -- as a military to military, but coming to kill civilians, to destroy kibbutzim, towns, and settlements all over the place. and what happened last chabad will never happen again. we will destroy

a full scale war in israel. coverage all morning, keep it on the fox news channel for the very latest. [background sounds] [gunfire] neil: all right, now it is a war, and we're getting indications that it could be spreading. we do know now the biggest escalation in the middle east we've seen in a number of years as hamas surprises israelis on a holy day and launches a rocket attack on what we now know is that in that attack better than 100 israelis have been killed, hundreds for injured. the palestinian authority, there have been counterstrikes in the palestinian areas occupied by the same individuals who might have been behind the attack on israel and there they have reports of more than 300 dead and 1600 wounded. and so it escalates, and so it goes on and so history, it would appear, is repeating itself. welcome, everybody, i'm neil cavuto. fox on top of another war and a dangerous war, going down around the 50th anniversary of the famous yom kippur war. that was a war that triggered a back and forth between b

if israell attacks libanon in anyway respond in the same way. what's happening now is that ' israel is counterparting to the counterpart to the reactions of hizbullah, because now israel is in a weak state that it cannot afford to show as a weak military, it cannot afford to show like it's submitting to the hizbullah rules, that is why, but i it doesn't seem like hizballah will engage in a war uh anytime soon, except maybe if israel engages in a land combat inside gazza. then it might drag the whole region to to a war and open different fronts because it cannot do that, israel cannot do that its own, it's know it it cannot afford to open several fronts, now it's been very weak and even facing besieged uh resistance group in ghazzah so it knows it cannot it cannot open fronts, but the possibility of the fronts is because of this because israel is an american limb in the region and america and other israeli allies like britain and france and japan has rejected peaceful a suggestion suggestion of peaceful resolution of political resolution that was

israel has a very secure border. israel has won the best armies in the world. we have one of the best technologies of defense in the world. what happened? trey: you were the best intelligence community's intelligence agencies in the world. the united states is not a country where we fear rockets and invasions. if there's a siren going off here it is a tornado not a missile coming in. so psychologically i know your country is used to being surrounded by enemies. but psychologically how do you prepare for what looks like it may be a protracted war? x yes look at what circumstances we are preparing for this. we were in the process of making peace with saudi arabia. unless thelost through soup made with four different arab/muslim countries. we have peace with jordan and egypt. israel's hand is always outstretched for peace and in the last three years we have come a long way and to big normalize into the region. we were getting excited about saudi arabia at which was peace being broken by the united states. in my big up to this nightmare. we back up to a war. my fri

washington offers support to israel a daily basis since israel creation, israel received over three billion dollars of military aid and three billion dollars of financial aid, let alone the hundreds of millions of dollars that they steal from american people pockets, and to to feed this racist zionist regime, the world is is wicked. up and the people in the united states are also waking up slowly and they understand that the israel that they pull them at one point of time to support you know the poor israel this is not working anymore uh the younger generation globally they understand that this is racist brutal regime in the united states particularly now we need to we need to identify in a very clear words what is is israel to the united states, israel to the united states is almost like a military camp in the region in the heart of the arab and the muslim world, so it is in the interest of the united states to support israel because it is in the interest of the united states, once israel becomes a burden on the united states and europe, they will abandon this racist regime, because it wil

anything which which is against israel or condemned any, any act of israel will be rejected by, this is not in new, unfortunately, and you can see the the support, the huge support for israel, you know from the us, anyway we still appeal for the us, for the international community. finding a political solution to this crisis clashes with netanyahu's strategy which aims at unleashing new flot of refugees and finalizing ethnic cleansing in gaza. it's a long-planned strategy which didn't start two weeks ago. italy its side has vowed its support to israel since the war broke out. rome has given up on trying to act as a broker of peace in the israeli palestinian conflict for many years. the current italian government has merely said we support israel, period. this as thousands of pro-palestine demonstrations have taken place across italy over the past days. a new rally in solidarity with the besieged palestinians will be held in the italian capital on saturday. max chiville press tv. rome. in much of the west, pro-palestinian protests against the latest israeli atrocities in gaza have bee

but in side israel.as an act of solidarity with the palestinian people has full accent. later in the day we heard from the singer has bowler may x edit the group would not remain neutral in this conflict. he gave a warning to the united states and israel to stop. he said if they continued to escalate this conflict then it could end up involving the entire region. that is a very real concern, but it does not seem we have seen an attempt here today. it is worth remembering while has polymer is a powerful group, it is not lebanon. it does not present all of lebanon and this is a country that is still in chaos and still suffering from economic crisis whether it is huge unemployment, there is not a president, political gridlock, this is a country that has suffered a series of crises and cannot face another. for more, i'm joined by the president of the middle east policy council and non— resident senior fellow at the atlantic council, gina abercrombie winstanley. i want to ask you first of all about this momen

israel has a vastly superior military. israel has bombed gaza repeatedly.ve not achieved their political goals in bombing gaza. there need to be responsible actors in the u.s. and in europe saying there is no military solution to this issue. there is only a political resolution over the long-term. in the immediate term, there needs to be immediate movement toward a cease-fire and humanitarian assistance for people on the ground. >> would you like to see the united states doing? it has brokered talks before. is something like that a possibility again? >> no. i do not think the u.s. is in a position. they do not have leverage any longer. i do not think they have credibility in the palestinian arena to play the traditional role of the mediator that it has in terms of the broader concept. -- conflicts. the biden administration in particular has provided unconditional support for israel, even when it seemingly violates international norms. the u.s., the will they could play is to try to reign in its israeli ally, not out of sympathy for palestinians, but at leas

, and what will israel do, if anything, to help - israel do, if anything, to help civilians — israelhelp civilians move some of the i israel do, if anything, to help i civilians move some of the people. first of— civilians move some of the people. first of all. — civilians move some of the people. first of all. i— civilians move some of the people. first of all, i would _ civilians move some of the people. first of all, i would like _ civilians move some of the people. first of all, i would like to - civilians move some of the people. first of all, i would like to remind i first of all, i would like to remind all of— first of all, i would like to remind all of us _ first of all, i would like to remind all of us what happened less than a week— all of us what happened less than a week ago. — all of us what happened less than a week ago, 1200 israelis were brutally— week ago, 1200 israelis were brutally murdered, burnt alive, kids were tied _ brutally murdered, burnt alive, kids were tied one to another and shot at the hands _ were tied one to another and shot at the hands. this is hama

and economic lobby in the united states, and if israel wants to bring us policy in line with israel's policy, they are usually able to do it, so that's the first point, secondly, the effort to expand this war, has proponents on both sides, there are jews who want to make israel the victim of a multilateral attack in the eyes of the american people in order to get more weapons and more money. there are also muslims who wish to make this a pan muslim attack on the israeli forces and they also have support outside of the region. the number of voices who like russia and like china are calling for immediate ceasefire and for some sort of peace talks that could end these seven decades, just since the declaration of the state of israel, are few in number, and so far are not the leading influence in the area, so this is a crisis. israel's attacks now on palestinian civilians are damaging the reputation of israel, they are fast undercutting their support in the west, and as we see around the world, millions of people are now openly demonstrating... for palestine and for the palestinian people.

by israel.egypt has a border that also participates in the blockade because it doesn't let the border to function as an international border, saying that is not an international border because there's no international agreement between israel and egypt, regarding the gaza strip. >> and when you cross at the arrows crossing into, and this is important for people to understand. you cross through israel first, you get out of israel, then you have the no-man's-land, then you have the palestinian authority. and you cross -- >> under hamas though and although in gaza, they call themselves the palestinian authority, the authority in gaza is really hamas. >> then you cross that check point, there's another no-man's-land, then it's the real hamas checkpoint. so, getting in and out of there is a near impossibility. it's an absolute impossibility for almost anyone, including anybody who's in gaza. once in a while, they let someone out for a medical treatment, there are few people who have work permits, and

washington offer support to israel a daily basis since israel creation, israel received over $3 billion. of military aid and the billion dollars of financial aid, let alone the hundreds of millions of dollars that they steal from american people pockets and to feed this racist zionist regime, the world is waking up and the people in the united states are also waking up slowly and they understand that the israel that they pull them at one point of time to support you know the... israel, this is not working anymore, the younger generation globally, they understand that this is racist brutal in the united states particularly. now we need to, we need to identify in a very clear words, what is israel to the united states? israel to the united states is almost like mittery camp in the region in the heart of the arab and the muslim, so it is in the interest of the united states to support because it is in the interest of the united states, once israel becomes a burden on the united states and europe, they will abandon this racist regime, because it no longer serve their interests, as long as i

will do anything to support israel. right now it's all about the israelis trying to protect themselves and rescue those hostages and take out the terrorists who have taken over these communities on the border. molly: yeah. it's incredible developments today. bret baier, thank you so much for your insights. i'm sure we'll be checking in with you all throughout the day. thank you. >> you bet. griff: thank you. now let's bring in former speaker of the house and republican congressman from the house kevin mccarthy. mr. speaker, thank you for coming in for us today. i understand you had some -- you've had some conversations with officials in israel. what can you tell us? >> i've been to israel many times. i was just there in may speaking for the 75th anniversary. president herzog had just call me a couple days ago a, but i was speaking today with their speaker, speaker ohana. they are telling me this is their pearl harbor. you've got to understand, 5,000 missiles are what are overwhelming the iron dome. the iron dome can onl

hamas said israel tortured omad dragma to death. the resistance group said regime bears full responsibility for the 58-year-old's uh passing. drogma was arrested following recent military operation carried out by hamas against israel on october the second. as israel wages a disproportionate war on gaza is trying to put out fires on multiple fronts. there's a situation in the occupied west bank, the possibility of dealing with. militarily and the resistance front, then you have the media narrative that is trying to control and protest that are destroying its already beleague image, and the are they are all natural concept. exercising apartide against palestinians which may constitute an existential threat for israel. israel's war in gaza may have brought devastation to the street accompanied by the massacre of civilians, mostly women and children, but israel's nijork reaction to its complete intel and military failure at the hands of hamas and resistance fighters may have another casualty: israel it. prior to the war, israel was not

israel has a very secure border. israel has won the best armies in the world. we have one of the best technologies of defense in the world. what happened? trey: you were the best intelligence community's intelligence agencies in the world. the united states is not a country where we fear rockets and invasions. if there's a siren going off here it is a tornado not a missile coming in. so psychologically i know your country is used to being surrounded by enemies. but psychologically how do you prepare for what looks like it may be a protracted war? x yes look at what circumstances we are preparing for this. we were in the process of making peace with saudi arabia. unlesslost through soup made pee with four different arab/muslim countries. we have peace with jordan and egypt. israel's hand is always outstretched for peace and in the last three years we have come a long way and to big normalize into the region. we were getting excited about saudi arabia at which was peace being broken by the united states. in my big up to this nightmare. we back up to a war. my fri

israel is dropping the bombs.nd kidnapping and, says israel, hiding behind civilians. gazans crowded into un schools after israel told them to move south towards the egyptian border. they are supposed to be protected by the laws of war. america has felt it necessary to deliver repeated reminders of that to israel, along with military aid. this grandmother blames israel, then speaks of tragedy, hunger, death, fear, horror and destruction. in rafah, at the closed border with egypt, palestinians with foreign passports are hoping to get out, to escape the pressure israel has imposed on civilians, amid reports of another air strike in the area tonight. you cannot ask people to move out of harm's way without assisting them to do it, to go to places of their choice, where they want to be safe and with the humanitarian aid that they need to make that journey safely. and right now, the movement that has happened has not had those provisions. antony blinken, us secretary of state, returned to israel after a rapid tour of am

to israel? what can we do about it? also, i do have respect for president biden standing up for israel, how can we solve the problem? >> two different questions that, who 20 want to take or in what order? >> we can start with house, a lot of people are feeling that will. the republican inability to appoint speaker nearly two weeks after kevin mccarthy was asked to is embarrassing. many republicans feel that way so i understand your concerns wanting to see democrats take control. evenhanded speaker for the current rules are the speaker needs a majority of the house to be elected so we will have to wait to see whether republicans share your view and back jeffries or if they will go around. >> twenty-four, 13 months now people will go back in their congressional district and remember we didn't have a speaker of the house in october of 2023? >> it's so hard to say but it feels things can be so different in the year so it depends on impart how the conflict unfold to what extent it becomes a broader r
